Segment details
0:08–0:10 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_4seems like they were really struggling
Segment details
0:11–0:12 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_5with the amount of people playing the game
Segment details
0:12–0:14 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_6and the servers just couldn't really
Segment details
0:14–0:15 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_7handle it. So I've been trying to play the
Segment details
0:15–0:18 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_8game, but it's been kind of hard with the
Segment details
0:18–0:19 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_9constant disconnections and the servers
Segment details
0:20–0:22 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_10being full and having all kind of laggy
Segment details
0:22–0:23 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_11problems and stuff like that. But it's
Segment details
0:23–0:25 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_12been, you know, it's been an okay-ish
Segment details
0:26–0:27 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_13launch apart from the problems I just
Segment details
0:27–0:29 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_14mentioned. It has been kind of frustrating
Segment details
0:30–0:32 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_15and annoying that I had to pay all this
Segment details
0:32–0:33 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_16money to play this game, and I haven't
Segment details
0:33–0:35 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_17really had an amazing experience straight
Segment details
0:35–0:37 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_18off the bat so far. It's been very glitchy
Segment details
0:38–0:39 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_19and problematic, but when you get past
Segment details
0:40–0:42 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_20those glitchiness and problematic
Segment details
0:42–0:44 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_21problems, then the game is kind of fun,
Segment details
0:44–0:46 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_22but it is a bit tedious. So in this game,
Segment details
0:47–0:49 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_23the main gameplay loop of this game is
Segment details
0:49–0:51 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_24basically you launch down onto the planet
Segment details
0:51–0:54 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_25and then you head for an objective,
Segment details
0:54–0:55 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_26usually that's marked on the map, and then
Segment details
0:56–0:58 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_27you head there And then there's some kind
Segment details
0:58–0:59 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_28of very basic task you gotta do, like
Segment details
1:00–1:01 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_29disable a signal, collect information, or
Segment details
1:01–1:05 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_30just kill stuff. And then once you're
Segment details
1:05–1:06 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_31doing the little task at the destination
Segment details
1:07–1:08 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_32that you're sent to, you gotta fend off
Segment details
1:08–1:10 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_33against swarms of bugs and insects. And
Segment details
1:10–1:14 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_34then after you finish fighting them off,
Segment details
1:14–1:15 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_35you head back to the extraction point
Segment details
1:15–1:17 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_36where you've now got to wait for the
Segment details
1:17–1:19 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_37extraction vehicle or the extraction
Segment details
1:19–1:22 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_38spaceship to fly down and collect you.
Segment details
1:22–1:24 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_39Whilst fending off another massive swarm
Segment details
1:24–1:26 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_40of insects. So usually there's only 2
Segment details
1:26–1:28 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_41types of insects, you've got the small
Segment details
1:29–1:30 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_42ones and then the big ones, and then
Segment details
1:30–1:31 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_43there's other planets where instead of
Segment details
1:32–1:33 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_44fighting insects you fight against these
Segment details
1:34–1:35 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_45kind of robotic machine things which kind
Segment details
1:35–1:37 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_46of look like Terminator things from the
Segment details
1:38–1:39 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_47Terminator movie. Not very original, I
Segment details
1:39–1:41 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_48have to say. This game doesn't really have
Segment details
1:42–1:43 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_49any originality. It basically just rips
Segment details
1:44–1:45 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_50off Starship Troopers with the big bugs
Segment details
1:46–1:47 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_51and Terminator with the robot stuff.
Segment details
1:47–1:50 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_52There's something weird about this game in
Segment details
1:50–1:52 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_53the way it feels when you aim the weapons.
Segment details
1:53–1:54 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_54You get like a circle within a crosshair
Segment details
1:55–1:57 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_55and you kind of move the crosshair around
Segment details
1:58–1:59 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_56and then the circle has a slight delay.
Segment details
1:59–2:01 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_57It's not a massive delay, but it is very
Segment details
2:01–2:03 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_58noticeable and you can definitely feel
Segment details
2:04–2:04 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_59this sluggishness as the circle moves
Segment details
2:04–2:08 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_60around to catch up with the cursor.
Segment details
2:09–2:10 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_61There's like a half-second, split-second
Segment details
2:10–2:12 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_62delay and it feels really weird,
Segment details
2:13–2:14 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_63especially when you try to aim at the
Segment details
2:14–2:15 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_64enemies. There's like this weird
Segment details
2:15–2:17 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_65disconjointed feeling to the shooting.
Segment details
2:17–2:19 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_66Not to mention that you only get basically
Segment details
2:20–2:21 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_672 guns. You get the pistol sidearm and
Segment details
2:21–2:23 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_68then your main rifle And then you also get
Segment details
2:24–2:25 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_69like a special big machine gun, like a big
Segment details
2:25–2:27 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_70LMG that you can call down from the
Segment details
2:27–2:29 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_71extraction point. But that gun is very
Segment details
2:30–2:32 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_72annoying and takes a very long time to
Segment details
2:32–2:33 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_73reload. As you can see, I'm using it now.
Segment details
2:33–2:35 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_74And yeah, it does a lot of damage. It's
Segment details
2:36–2:37 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_75got a big magazine, but it takes freaking
Segment details
2:37–2:39 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_76ages to reload. It's a very frustrating
Segment details
2:39–2:41 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_77weapon to use, and it can be pretty
Segment details
2:41–2:43 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_78intense when you're trying to reload it
Segment details
2:43–2:44 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_79and there's a load of insects chasing you.
Segment details
2:45–2:46 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_80You're trying not to get killed as you
Segment details
2:46–2:48 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_81only have about 10 seconds until the
Segment details
2:48–2:49 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_82extraction flight vehicle comes down and
Segment details
2:50–2:51 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_83rescues you. I think one of the biggest
Segment details
2:52–2:53 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_84problems with this game and a missed
Segment details
2:54–2:55 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_85opportunity from the developers is not
Segment details
2:55–2:58 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_86making this game free-to-play. I think
Segment details
2:58–2:59 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_87they've really missed the mark by charging
Segment details
2:59–3:01 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_88too much money for this game. It's about
Segment details
3:01–3:03 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_89£35, so it's like $50. It's not super
Segment details
3:03–3:06 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_90expensive compared to most AAAs, but they
Segment details
3:06–3:08 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_91could have made this a free-to-play game
Segment details
3:09–3:10 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_92like Fortnite, or I don't know, any kind
Segment details
3:10–3:13 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_93of free-to-play model game that's
Segment details
3:13–3:15 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_94extremely successful still makes a lot of
Segment details
3:15–3:17 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_95money even though it's free-to-play
Segment details
3:17–3:18 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_96because they offer other things like skins
Segment details
3:19–3:20 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_97skins and customizable outfits
Segment details
3:20–3:24 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_98and armor sets and stuff like that.
Segment details
3:24–3:25 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_99There's loads of games that are
Segment details
3:25–3:26 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_100free-to-play— Outwatch, another game, for
Segment details
3:26–3:28 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_101example. I don't understand why they
Segment details
3:28–3:29 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_102couldn't have just made this game
Segment details
3:30–3:30 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_103free-to-play and just given you like a
Segment details
3:31–3:33 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_104bunch of items that you could buy for real
Segment details
3:33–3:35 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_105money. I don't really feel like this game
Segment details
3:35–3:36 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_106is really good enough to warrant the price
Segment details
3:37–3:39 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_107tag. It doesn't really feel like an
Segment details
3:39–3:41 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_108amazingly well-made game. It just seems
Segment details
3:41–3:44 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_109like something that's made kind of cheaply
Segment details
3:44–3:46 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_110and Not really much went into it. It's
Segment details
3:46–3:48 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_111just the same gameplay loop over and over
Segment details
3:48–3:50 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_112again. It's not like a massive high-budget
Segment details
3:50–3:52 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_113game. So I personally feel like they could
Segment details
3:52–3:54 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_114have made more money if they just made it
Segment details
3:54–3:55 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_115free to play or only $10, because then a
Segment details
3:56–3:58 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_116lot more people would have been willing to
Segment details
3:58–4:00 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_117give it a try. I personally won't really
Segment details
4:00–4:02 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_118be playing it anymore because I don't want
Segment details
4:02–4:04 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_119to actually spend all this money to buy
Segment details
4:04–4:05 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_120this game and own it because I don't see
Segment details
4:06–4:07 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_121myself playing it in the future. There's
Segment details
4:08–4:09 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_122much other interesting games such as

4:14–4:15 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_125than this game. This game's okay if you
Segment details
4:16–4:17 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_126want like a quick cheap laugh with your

Segment details
4:19–4:21 · rev_67a66005338956e70759452bd616bc23_128like me, then this game kind of falls flat
Segment details
